#LDAT40 Day 8
This Wednesday at MSU Wesley's weekly small group call Landon Hall Lunch Bunch we considered the question What's your favorite song on the radio? Peer Minister Keeley Davenport answered "Thinking Out Loud, by Ed Sheeran"
"Is that the one where Ed sings when I can't walk anymore you're still going to love me?" Keeley laughed and said yeah its something like that. Point of fact the lyric goes:
When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
The follow up question for conversation was how does this song affect your spiritual life? Keeley and I both thought this was an easy one. Sheeran sings of a kind of love that transcends the physical, and this is the way God loves us.
This is not to say that this kind of divine transcendent love excludes the physical or natural world. God's love includes the natural world and it supernatural-izes it in such a way that make the most out of love. God's love is the kind of love that our hearts were created for. It's the kind of love that flows out of us to our lovers and loved ones in ways so startling that it makes us all want to live our lives in an whole new way.
So lovers, what do you think?
